An increase in the number of suicides in South Korea, has led policeman Yoo Byoung-jong to a new job. He patrols(巡逻) Seoul’s bridges to stop desperate people from throwing themselves into the river.
According to South Korea’s health ministry, suicide rates have doubled in a decade and are now the leading cause of death for people in their 20s and 30s.
The country has the fourth-highest suicide rate among the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization for Co-operation and Development (OECD). It recorded 22.8 suicide deaths for every 100,000 people in 2003. That’s lower than Hungry, Finland and close neighbour Japan. But the number is growing by about 1 percent each year, faster than for all other OECD nations.
In a move to cut suicides by a fifth by 2010, the health ministry is running a television ad campaign. It opens with a lonely man walking on a bridge. A voice over says: “Think five minutes more before you give it all away. Don’t forget you have a loving family.”
Other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors. Authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic(有毒的) chemicals.
Distressed individuals range from students worried about poor grades to people in debt as well as disgraced politicians.
Experts say the rising toll(死亡人数) in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent high-profile suicides. These include top business leaders and celebrities(名人) who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.
“We saved 50 lives this year when people turned to bridges as a place to die after news reports of such deaths by ‘big shots’,” said the 38-year-oldYoo, in December.
Last July, the government and civil associations urged media to avoid reporting specific methods and locations of suicides. But it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.
1.The passage is mainly about________.
A. suicide problems in Korea B. how to reduce suicides in Korea
C. desperation D. the relations between life and suicide
2.Suicide rates in South Korea .
A. have done great harm to the economical development
B. are going from bad to worse
C. didn’t draw special attention of the government
D. arouse international concerns
3.It doesn’t say but implies that .
A. present hotlines are not enough for suicide counsellors
B. people choose suicide as the way to end their lives because they are short of love
C. cutting suicides by a fifth by 2010 is easy to carry out
D. authorities manage websites efficiently
4.Lowering the number of reported suicide by celebrities in the media in Korea .
A. will be limited
B. didn’t affect people’s daily life
C. might cause fewer people to commit suicide
D. damage the fame of media
5.Yoo Byoung-jong’s new job to patrol Seoul’s bridge has .
A. made him suffer a lot
B. prevented people from jumping into water
C. burdened himself
D. proved a good way to save lives

New York University (NYU) is one of the best universities in the United States and it has just opened a school in Shanghai in partnership with East China Normal University(ECNU). The arrival of the American university on China mainland is an example of what is being called the “globalization” of education and it is hoped that this trend will influence the quality of education in all of China’s universities by raising the standard of teaching.
NYU Shanghai’s class of 2017(students will graduate in 2017) is made up of 295 students from China, America and other countries. The students will study liberal arts courses for two years before choosing a major and when they graduate, they will receive a degree from NYU and a degree from ECNU. All the classes will be taught in English, using the teaching methods in American universities. Students will be pushed to take risks in the classroom, pushed to speak up and pushed to say things that are not completely correct, which can make them understand that it’s OK for them to make mistakes in class.
This style of learning will be challenging for many Chinese students, because they will be mixed with the foreign students both in the classroom and in the dormitory. Living and studying with foreigners day to day will provide Chinese students with a cultural as well as academic education and it’s hoped that this cross-cultural experience will benefit them when they seek jobs in the competitive global market.
China’s interest in partnering with foreign universities comes at a time when western universities are trying to expand. They realize that information, technology and business are now borderless; they also realize education should be borderless too. This trend will have a deep effect on bringing the world closer together and the students at NYU Shanghai should be excited to be on the leading edge of this trend.
1.The opening of NYU Shanghai class may help _________.
A. improve the quality of China’s university education
B. prove that NYU is the best university in the United States
C. send more Chinese students to foreign universities
D. raise the standard of teaching in American university
2.What is the NYU Shanghai’s class like?
A. It offers the same courses as NYU does in the US.
B. It’s hard to follow the classes without knowing English.
C. The students are majoring in liberal arts courses.
D. Only two-year courses will be provided in this class.
3. How should the students perform in the classroom?
A. They must express themselves correctly.
B. They should try to be active in the class.
C. They will learn something dangerous.
D. They have to correct their mistakes.
4. What can be inferred from Paragraph3?
A. More foreign students will work in Shanghai after graduation.
B. Chinese students will get a better education than foreign students.
C. It may be easier for the students to find jobs after graduation.
D. No foreign students can benefit from the cross-cultural experience.
5.Why are the western universities trying to expand?
A. Because they want to get more information and more money.
B. Because they want to improve their technology.
C. Because Shanghai is on the leading edge in China.
D. Because they think the education resources should be shared.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy
Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
1.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found______.
A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering
2.According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild
B. The people trapped in high rise building
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people
3.How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to the kids
B. She took care of younger children
C. She called on the White House to help
D. She built an information sharing platform
4.What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Little people can make a big difference B. A friend in need is a friend indeed
C. East or West, home is best D. Technology is power
